Idles...

[PsYcHiC]

This is in Visual Basic 6, How would I make Idles so people can choose what idle they want? EX. Connected Uptime, System Uptime, Quotes. I'm using CSB.  And if this was posted anywhere else, direct me to it please.

I think you should learn how to program first... Either way all you have to do is create a group of radio buttons, each represent a different idle, then have it send the idle based on the selected button.

I know this post sounded newb, but I already have a bot made... I just need alittle help.

Look up GetTickCount...

or... because you should learn Visual Basic before attempting to write a bot in it?

I didn't really read if the question was answered, but the uptime question has already been addressed here: http://forum.valhallalegends.com/phpbbs/index.php?board=17;action=display;threadid=1298;start=msg10502#msg10502

Remember that GetTickCount will reset every 49.7 days; I'd recommend against using it for uptime.  That is, unless you're expecting to crash every few days :-)

Very few windows users leave their computers on for longer than 20 or so. Besides, if you're not going to provide a better solution, what's the point of posting?

I stay up until the system forces me to go down, usually either due to hardware change or installing anything from Microsoft.  Skywing tends to maintain uptimes even longer than mine.

This has been covered before.

Query the performance counter "System\System Up Time" or use QueryPerformanceCounter/QueryPerformanceFrequency (the former is slower, the latter isn't guaranteed to work right under all processors).

Current longest uptime:

I said "most users" intentionally.
I'll look into that, Skywing.

Thing, how does that have anything at all to do with windows uptime? I've had 230+ days on a linux box before; 104 is nothing to brag about. Besides, is this forum named "post your best uptime?" I think not.

I had about 170 on Win2K before a power outage zapped it..

Well that was easy:

Public Function GetSecondCount() As Currency
   Dim qpCounter As Currency, qpFrequency As Currency

   GetSecondCount = qpCounter / qpFrequency

It doesn't.

104 is nothing to brag about.

I know.  That is just my current longest uptime.

I think you need a nap.
